Tailored compliant mechanisms for reconfigurable electromagnetic devices [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2023 Reconfigurability and robustness are two key properties for electromagnetic devices. Here, the use of compliant mechanisms—which are known for their inherent durability, structural stability, and high-accuracy manipulation capabilities in mechanical ...

Monolithic scalable compliant mechanisms. [PDF]
PLoS ONEScaling a physical device's geometry results in mechanical properties changing in various ways (e.g. the cubed-squared law states that for a scaling factor C, mass scales with C3 and surface area with C2).

Design of Deployable Structures by Using Bistable Compliant Mechanisms [PDF]
Micromachines, 2022 A deployable structure can significantly change its geometric shape by switching lattice configurations. Using compliant mechanisms as the lattice units can prevent wear and friction among multi-part mechanisms.

Mobility of the compliant joints and compliant mechanisms [PDF]
Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, 2005 This paper deals with a mobility of the single compliant joints and entire compliant mechanisms. The compliance of the joints and the mobility of the compliant mechanism can be increased by variations of geometry as well as material type of the joints ...

Surgical Applications of Compliant Mechanisms: A Review
Journal of mechanisms and robotics-Transactions of the asme, 2021 Current surgical devices are mostly rigid and are made of stiff materials, even though their predominant use is on soft and wet tissues. With the emergence of compliant mechanisms (CMs), surgical tools can be designed to be flexible and made using soft

Design of compliant mechanisms using continuum topology optimization: A review
Mechanism and Machine Theory, 2020 Compliant mechanisms have become an important branch of modern mechanisms. Unlike conventional rigid body mechanisms, compliant mechanisms transform the displacement and force at least partly through the deformation of their structural components, which ...

Compliant shell mechanisms [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions Series A, Mathematical, Physical, and Engineering Sciences, 2012 Abstract This paper describes a class of lightweight structures known as compliant shell mechanisms. These are novel reconfigurable solutions for advanced structures, such as morphing shells and deployable membranes. They have local, discrete corrugations, which articulate and deform to achieve dramatic changes in the overall shape of

Kinetostatic and Dynamic Modeling of Flexure-Based Compliant Mechanisms: A Survey
Applied Mechanics Reviews, 2020 Flexure-based compliant mechanisms are becoming increasingly promising in precision engineering, robotics, and other applications due to the excellent advantages of no friction, no backlash, no wear, and minimal requirement of assembly.
